[Xastir] XASTIR now on BeagleBone Black

[Brett Friermood]

Sorry, yes a 7 inch Touchscreen LCD Cape. At 800x480 resolution I was
surprised at how well you can see and interact with XASTIR. It scaled
down very nicely. Then again, the only small screen I'm used to for
doing detailed stuff is my phone, and using online maps and other
services on that is a whole different level of compromised.

I really didn't do much different than the Ubuntu 12.10 install
walk-through, but I can add in a bunch of other stuff specific to the
BBB and LCD7. I've got a bunch of notes I can work off of. It will
probably take a while to get to it, though.

In the meantime, feel free to ask any questions about it either on
list or direct.
